So, background: 32, still cycling (however they are highly irregular/gone now that I’m on HRT). I am taking 25mg DHEA and 3mg Test Propionate EOD as well as 0.05 estrogen patch. I am absolutely raging most days. A month or so ago I felt the happiest/calmest I’ve been in years. Like wow this is working! My T levels are at 98, my E was tanked at 29 so we started the patch this month. I was fine at first but the last two weeks I have been awful. My period never came (PMDD sufferer - now idk wtf to do since I usually felt better when it did). My P is low but I don’t tolerate P at all (going to discuss an alternate route though next appt). I seriously want to divorce my husband and leave him and my kids and run away. I am so angry all the time and feel super depressed. Wondering if anyone had similar issues and what helped/what should I ask my doc about? Should I be testing labs more often? I just feel like I’m on the world’s worst rollercoaster.

Hi! 31F, started out at total T of 5 and on t prop - Idk if this is a dumb question, but considering the shorter half life of T prop, can you increase quicker or is still best to go slow? I have been slowly creeping up (started at 2mg EOD for 6 weeks then upped to 3mg as I didn’t feel much) and I feel better as in not exhausted and slightly regaining clitoral sensation after having absolutely none for a few years but still lacking libido and tired, moody. I just had labs done and my total t is 93, e 30, shbg 34. No side effects besides some more oily skin but I was dryyyyy to start. Wondering if going up to 4mg EOD is too much too fast since I started in February. My provider prescribed 14mg twice weekly but I decided to do EOD and start slow. Should I wait it out at this dose or would I know by now since I’ve been doing 3mg EOD for about a month? Thanks all :)
